The Vulture Peak (Pali: Gijjhakūṭa गिज्झकूट, Sanskrit: Gṛdhrakūṭa गृध्रकूट), also known as the Holy Eagle Peak or Gridhrakūta (or Gādhrakūta), was, according to Buddhist tradition, the Buddha's favorite retreat in Rajagaha - now Rajgir, located in Bihar, India.

It is so named because it resembles a sitting vulture with its wings folded, and was the scene for many of his discourses.

Vulture Peak Mountain is, by tradition, one of several sites frequented by the Buddha and his community of disciples for both training and retreat.

Its location is frequently mentioned in Buddhist texts in the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism[1][2] and in the Mahayana sutras as the place where the Buddha gave certain sermons.

When the living witness the end of an eon, When everything is consumed in a great fire, This land of mine remains safe and tranquil, Always filled with human and heavenly beings.
